Fixed Disk Word

We kept getting requests, so we brought back the fixed-gear version of our Disk WORD hub. This unicorn enables the fixed-gear conversion of bikes with 135mm or 142mm rear spacing. It’s machined with care by us here in Chico, California. It’s absolutely bomb-proof, light, easily adjustable, serviceable, and comes with our own thick stainless steel lockring.

Product Story

We machine these hubs from 2-5/8″ round bars of aircraft grade 6061 aluminum. The hub shells are put through four different machining processes before they go to finishing, and the end result is something we’re very proud of. The flanges are canted towards the rim, and the spoke holes are chamfered to reduce stress on the head and elbow of the spoke.

The hub shell is available with dedicated fixed gear and lockring threading on one side, with a 6 bolt disc rotor mount on the other side. Proper left-handed lockring threading keeps fixed gear cogs secure, and our heavy-duty stainless steel lockring is included.

The axle is precision turned in-house from 7075 aluminum, which has a great strength to weight ratio.

We use high-fill sealed bearings, and they can be easily adjusted with our simple adjuster ring.

Our monthly email is an ongoing bike conversation for creative people who spend a lot of time in their garage.
We didn’t say the #CascadeCougar would be a “re-cr We didn’t say the #CascadeCougar would be a “re-creation” of Mr Paul’s old Salsa, we said it would be INSPIRED by it, and @blackcatbicycles was definitely inspired! This painstaking geometrically masked rainbow fade with chrome lettering was finished with a clearcoat and well, just WAIT until you see this thing dipped in polished parts! ✨🤩✨As for the last pic… we’ll take bad photoshop over A.I. any day of the week. 😂 Thanks for the photos @mybucketsgottaholeinit 📷
Our friends at @wolf_tooth_comp sweetened the pot Our friends at @wolf_tooth_comp sweetened the pot by sending over a pair of sweet Waveform pedals for the #CascadeCougar Oakridge Trails fundraiser project. These puppies come in two sizes, 9 different colors, and are 100% user serviceable. The question is… will we really have this bike built in time for the @made.bike show this weekend?!
It can be a little tricky building up a drop-bar b It can be a little tricky building up a drop-bar bike with super wide-range 1X mountain bike gearing using cable actuated disk brakes like our Klampers, but one solution is to throw a @ratiotechnology 12-speed adapter into a SRAM 11-speed “brifter”. Modrone was generous enough to send us this SICK Jab rear derailleur that’s configured specifically for the #CascadeCougar, with a barrel-adjuster and Ratio specific throw. These derailleurs are fully rebuildable, re-configurable, CNC machined, and feature adjustable linkage springs and clutches. Very badass, thanks @madronecycles!
Whew! Our friends at @astralcycling up in Eugene O Whew! Our friends at @astralcycling up in Eugene Oregon hand-laced us these beautiful silver Serpentine wheels for the #CascadeCougar. Both rims are offset for more even spoke tension, we’ve got those Cali-made @whiteind hubs, and some jazzy oil-slick decals🌈. Reminder: we’ll be raffling this bike off to raise money for @oakridgetrailsalliance , so all these top shelf components could end up in YOUR stable!😎
What would you call this ano colorway?! Blueberry What would you call this ano colorway?! Blueberry Acid Trip? BTCHN’ Bikes was generous enough to donate these insane titanium handlebars to the #CascadeCougar project. Made right here in Chico! Wait till you see how these tie into the paint… 👀
When it came time to pick a headset for the #Casca When it came time to pick a headset for the #CascadeCougar, you know we had to reach out to our friends at White Industries. Their engraved logos pair so well with our parts aesthetically, they’re machined in California, have a split crown-race for easy installation, and use recycled/able packaging. Man, this bike is gonna be DIPPED! 🤩
